Bought on a whim, 110% worth it
I overheard someone mention Christie and decided to give her a read, having only seen the recent Murder On the Orient etc film and thinking it was so-so. Stumbled across this, absolutely delighted. Sometimes Moffat’s Belgian accent can be a little hard to understand, but other than that, can’t fault it, even if the Agatha Christie Surprise Twist (TM) gets predictable, it’s always a great surprise and always one that one can piece together after. Really recommend!

Very good story as expected with great performance
As expected with Agatha Christie and poirit fantastic story, with a wonderful performance however at only 15 hours a feel mon amie they could have given us a longer more complete collection of poirit’s adventures.

Wonderful!
I love Poirot in all forms and these dramatisations did not disappoint. The script and cast are excellent with John Moffat being a superb Hercule Poirot, and the stories lost nothing in being abridged/adapted for radio. I will definitely purchase the second volume in the future. Thoroughly recommended!

Ideal for fans of the TV series
A long but easy read. John Moffat is a perfect fit for narrating the part of Poirot. Just like the TV programme. Perfect for fixing the lockdown blues.

Excellent!
Loved this audiobook! It is more of a selection of plays than audiobook but absolutely fantastic! John Moffat does a remarkable job playing our favourite Belgian detective, truly wonderful!
If you love Agatha Christie's novels I highly recommend this audiobook.

Great dramatisation collection
What made the experience of listening to Poirot's Finest Cases the most enjoyable?
Quite a variety of stories dramatised, from the most well known to those less known by occasional Christie readers such as me.
Who was your favorite character and why?
As this is a collection this question doesn't really work as there are just so many characters, though I suppose Poirot so dominates each story...
Have you listened to any of John Moffat and Full Cast ’s other performances? How does this one compare?
N/A
If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
N/A
Any additional comments?
I really felt I had to write a review to comment on my major problem with this collection: the individual stories are not individually listed, as if the listener is only expected to start at the beginning and carry on to the very end. But I often fancy just listening to a particular story, and it is usually one right in the middle, so I have to guess and then move forward or back until I find what I am looking for. This is really not satisfactory, particularly as there are a lot of stories in this collection.

A must for Poirot fans
Excellent compilation with the brilliant John Moffat as Poirot. I thoroughly enjoyed listening as the various casts took me through some of the most classic murder mysteries from the pen of Agatha Christie. Highly recommended.
